Two impacts one shot

Post by rsj223 » 15 May 2017, 7:36 pm

I took the Tikka .308 out just because I wanted and placed the gone(150mm) at about 90mtr so wanting to know why is there 2 impacts on the top on?
The other smaller ones are from the .22
These 2 shots were from resting on the back of the camp chair

Perhaps your bullet fragmented and a chunk carried on and hit again

Which shot was first? The one with two impacts or the other one? Was the Dong still moving slightly if the two impact shot was second?

If there was an old impact on the plate that was painted over, the new shot close to it will sometimes "renew" the old impact crater with fresh lead.

Steel needs to be shot, lest it breed and the population of feral steel gets out of control. You are doing a public service.
